      Book Description

      This text helps students hit the road with a practical set of tools, and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.
      The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career.

                            5 out of 5 stars Fascinating viewpoints on current cosmological questions........1998-12-14

                            I received this book as a gift. I wish I had bought it years ago! I'm an amateur astronomer. This book gives the reader the opportunity to hear the world's most reknowned professional astronomers address the universal questions which we all share: Whence came the universe? Whither goes it? The book opens with a brief overview of current cosmological theories and observations. It then poses the same set of fascinating questions to each of 27 working astronomers; both observational and theoretical. They give the reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with the current models. If the "great questions" interest you, I promise you will learn a lot and gain much to ponder for a long time!

                                            The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. It has moved into a central place in condensed matter studies.
                                            Statistical physics, and more specifically, the theory of transitions between states of matter, more or less defines what we know about 'everyday' matter and its transformations.
                                            The major aim of this serial is to provide review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field, and for graduate students and others wishing to obtain reliable information on important recent developments.

                                              Book Description

                                              On January 31, 1944, Lieutenant Michael Mauritz climbed into the cockpit of a Curtiss

                                              P-40 fighter and took off on what should have been a routine reconnaissance mission over Italy. But engine trouble forced the young pilot to ditch his plane in Anzio Bay and swim ashore, where he fell into the hands of Nazi soldiers.

                                              The Secret of Anzio Bay is the riveting and at times deeply affecting account of what happened to Mauritz after his capture. It is a story that might never have been told had it not been for the recovery fifty-four years later of the fighter plane from the bottom of the bay. The return of Skipper marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary events that would draw Mauritz back to Italy and a very different kind of mission—one from which he could not turn back, for at last he knew that his story must be told.

                                              Working from the only journal that he was able to save, Mauritz has painstakingly reconstructed his final months in Italy near the end of the war, the daring escape from a prison camp, the march through Rome, and the arduous trek over the Apennines and across Italy's boot that would eventually lead to his rescue.

                                              But The Secret of Anzio Bay is no ordinary war story. It reveals much more than the plight of one captured American pilot at the end of World War II. It also paints a vivid portrait of the Italian people then and now, their courage and resourcefulness, and the generosity of their spirit. And above all, it offers a fascinating look at human nature during the worst of times: the brutality of seemingly civilized people as well as the civility and compassion of those from whom brutality would be expected.

                                              The Secret of Anzio Bay delivers a powerful message to a world now caught up in a different kind of war. It challenges us to recognize and treasure the basic connectedness of all of us, to understand that human solidarity is the key to our survival.

                                              4 out of 5 stars not a war story but rather a love story.......2005-02-25

                                              If Mr. Mauritz was British, we would refer to him as Sir Micheal as he should be Knighted for his heart rendering real life recollection of youth in the turbulant winter and spring of 1944. The message here is that as people we take care of our own. As nationalists and political beings and even soldiers we are limited in scope and confused by conflicting priorities. This read is actually a magical backporch story of wisdom, honor, and the stongest emotion that we can collectively embrace our human condition with, love. Loyalty, family, endurance, luck, and God's wonderfull grace are all wonderfully celabrated in this actioned packed adventure.

                                              5 out of 5 stars Great heart warming story.......2003-05-05

                                              I totally agree with T West. This is a wonderful story. Lt. Michael Mauritz is truely a member of The Greatest Generation. My wife and I were privileged to see "Skipper", his ditched P-40 aircraft at a museum (La Piana delle Orme) in Italy in February.

                                              5 out of 5 stars A great read!!!.......2002-06-06

                                              What a story to first crash your plane in the sea,swimming to shore,captured by enemy soldiers,only to escape,to lead to a five month journey across the snow ridden Apennines!! To read Lt. Mauritz story of deception and bravery has just left me awestruck. From the help of Italian civilians with food and shelter,to have a German patrol pass right by you and leave you alone, crossing the mountains in a fierce blizzard just thinking that your gonna die only to look up to see a small light coming from a candle in a house. Edge of your seat thrill ride from page one.

                                              But it does not end. Mauritz returns to Italy 1998 to see the plane pulled from the sea. Hero type celebrations hence forth and as the book says Mauritz is an "ambassodor of peace". I will not give away his unexpected message. This is a real war hero not hollywood. This is a must read book.

                                                Book Description

                                                In Autobiography of an Allergic/Asthmatic Survivor, the early life of Sara Marie Jones is shared with her readers. Sara Marie's life depicts a journey from sickness to wellness and recognition of "all of the gray areas in between." Though some minor events and occasional later in life insight may be juxtaposed simply to fit certain material in suitable places; the story is basically true.

                                                As the X-Files television program states, "The truth is out there." In this instance, the truth is self-evident within. While Sara Marie does not propose to know about the reality of little ETs, she knows very well that allergies and asthmatic symptoms exist and are not merely figments of her imagination. Not only are symptoms real, but the afflictions maim, disable and kill. Memories and flashbacks of sickness, even setbacks, haunt her as she visits her grandmother on weekends and throughout the story. She moves her life along from elementary school age to junior high and then to her high school years revealing what it was like to deal with her allergies and lung disease which included frightening attacks and often feeling different and alienated.

                                                After becoming severely ill due to her "ironic detrimental" decision to work as a hairdresser, she reaches rock-bottom and realizes that her entire life needs to change. With her husband, she moves to Denver, Colorado, and continues her exploration and "passion for learning about how to be well." Eventually Sara Marie experiences new realms of possibility and wellness. Especially, she is proud of an exhilarating solitary bicycle tour along the Pacific Coast from Cannon Beach, Oregon to her destination, San Francisco, California.

                                                In this story and in her life, Sara Marie truly does break through and break free of many of her once real and feared limitations. As she says, "I've run my marathon, conquered my own fear and pain." This book, which reveals, frankly and poignantly, what it's like to live with allergies and asthma, offers hope, promise and the probability that other victims possess the power within to educate themselves, adapt and also transcend from victim to "survivor." When this happens, higher levels of well-being and an improved quality of life will be their dream come true, too.
